Levee Camp Moan Lyrics

Ma Rainey Levee Camp Moan

[Verse]
My man has left me and he's gone away
Back to the levee where he used to stay
I miss his huggin' and his kissin' too
I feel so lonesome and awfully blue
That's the reason, hear my mournful cry, can't help but cry

[Chorus 1]
Mmm, mmm
Each night and mornin', I might go roamin'
Back to the levee where my man has gone
That's the reason you hummin' the levee camp moan
[Chorus 2]
Mmm, mmm
I miss his huggin', I miss his kissin'
And that ain't all that I've been missin'
That's the reason you hear me moan the levee camp moan

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 3]
Boohoo, boohoo
He called me honey, took all my money
Tall and lean, [?]
That's the reason that you hear mе moanin' that levee camp moan
